I recently downloaded the 1.9 pre v4 from the front page today to try it out. I have been saving up pearls to open a portal and had plenty to get me to my first stronghold.
I dig down to the stronghold and right off the bat I am disappointed. I land right in the portal room which is nice, BUT, that is all there is. There is a short hallway leading out of the room that stops at a dead end. We are talking like three or four dungeons combined for portal room and all.
The second disappointment was the portal itself. I get to the stronghold with thirteen pearls left, enough for one extra. So to make up for the flop of a stronghold I place the eyes into all of the slots. I'm getting a little excited coming to the last block, completely forgetting about how small this stronghold is, I place in the eye...and NOTHING!
Is there something more I need to do to activate the portal, or is this a bug of some sort? Please help, I want to see The End!!!
I have seen a few videos where people place a portal block, which isn't what I'm looking for. I have also seen where others have activated the portal by placing in all the eyes using 1.9 pre 4
Edit: but still the stronghold was just the portal room and a dead end. shouldn't it be huge?

Same thing here, but note that this was on a 1.9 Pre4 server. Filling all the slots did nothing.
Is the portal working yet for SMP is my question.
The dungeon was rather big though, so no problems on that end.
